UMS Mode for ExternalSD Card Jelly Bean Support - LG Optimus 4X HD

here simple application that will enabled UMS mode for External sdcard
root needed.
how to use:
safe way on version 2.5 is :
enable UMS Mode when cable usb is unplug
Back to Charge mode when cable usb is unplug
safe way on version 3.0 is :
do it on condition usb plugged
note:
if you plug into player or some device player , and you found that it cannot found the USB drive
in this case just do this
settings -> connectivity -> usb connection type
and do press or repress the "Charge Only"
in version 3.0 you will notice 1 triangle on task bar, its normal , it telling you mass storage is currently unmount
2 icon on task bar is telling you the mass storage successful unmount you can take it out
those of notice are normal if we do unmount the mass storage in android api level.
all the information about how to do it i found on XDA forum.
i do some research also code this app
version 2.1
fix sometime fail to mount back to external_sd folder
version 2.5
fix sometime got to bluescreen on windows
version 3.0
fix bluescreen on windows
using different approach to unmount the external SD card
version 3.2
bring back native method to mount and unmount, its speed up abit when using native method
by check the box to enable native mode
version 3.3

its working good tnx mate

Thanks for app. It is amazing
Best regards,

It does not mount back SDcard to /mnt/sdcard/external_sd after disconnect, so have to reboot after use it.
MTP is working but external_sd is empty.

your welcome guys,
@m0b :
i think you forget click on "back to charge mode"

With the first version I have access to the card. After disconnecting I have to reboot the phone, so I can regain access to the card.

Version 2.1 gives reproducible blue screens with Win7 x64 SP1 at the first link when I confirm the superuser, or in further tries, when connect the USB cable.
Only uninstalling the apk helps to solve the problem.

A little off topic:
After UMS_mode.apk does not work for me, here is another way to access both memory cards in the P880 (and any other Android-Device) from Windows OS:
Install Total Commander (Shareware): http://www.ghisler.com
Install Total Commander Plugin "Android ADB" (Freeware): http://www.totalcmd.net/plugring/android_adb.html
Android device driver has to be installed too!
Through links, both SD-Cards appear with 3 differen pathes in the P880 operating system.
The external SD-Card has its mount point in (!) the internal SD-card:
Code:
Internal SD-Card:
\\\ADB\LG-P880\data\media\
\\\ADB\LG-P880\mnt\sdcard\
\\\ADB\LG-P880\sdcard\
2. external SD-Card:
\\\ADB\LG-P880\data\media\external_sd\
\\\ADB\LG-P880\mnt\sdcard\external_sd\
\\\ADB\LG-P880\sdcard\external_sd\

thanks bro , here version 2.5 will fix the bluescreen

Thanks a lot! useful for syncing with doubleTwist. can't stand the LG PC Suite its too slow.
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda premium

version 3.0 relase fix bluescreen again,
if you suffer on always media scanning you can turn it off on
setting -> application -> find "Media Storage" -> disable

Wow!
This is the greatest thing created for this phone so far.
MTP is painfully slow, doesn't work with cars/stereos/etc, requires installing drivers everywhere I go, crashes all the time, doesn't allow access with a file path, and somehow caused my sd card to wipe itself three times in two weeks, so this was a major issue for me that was making me regret buying the phone.
Initially after installing this app (v3.0), I had to repeatedly toggle UMS/MTP mode and plug/unplug my phone from the computer several times before it finally started working, but now it's perfect.
If you have a paypal or flattr link, and I'll send something your way. Or put it on the Play Store so I can buy it and update
Thanks!

thanks

I can not confirm unfortunately.
I wanted to give the app still a second chance and have installed 3.0.
Then I restarted the phone, without starting the APP before.
Now it hangs on startup LG boot logo.
Even without the second SD card the same problem.
Any idea without factory reset or flashing KDZ?

My phone is still stuck in boot, but I have an access via adb shell to system.
Unfortunately I have no permission to access "/data"
Could anyone tell me the aplication name of this UMS-Tool under "/data/data" ?
I only found "com.noshufou.android.su" in classes.dex, but don't know wether this is right:
Code:
[email protected]:/data $ run-as com.noshufou.android.su
run-as com.noshufou.android.su
run-as: Package 'com.noshufou.android.su' is unknown
[email protected]:/data $

Ok, I guess it's not quite working perfectly for me now that I've used it a bit more, but I still love it.
1) it's really tricky to get it working initially. I almost always have to toggle it multiple times and sometimes reconnect the usb cable.
2) like someone else mentioned, it never remounts the SD card so I have to restart the phone to get it working again after I'm done.
I have not had any problems on boot like BudCord.
I'm running stock firmware 10f.

Anyone have v3 hosted any where else? I can't download from media fire.. no captcha support..
Tried stock browser, dolphin, and chrome..

Any chance to get it working on mac os x (10.6.8) ?
For the moment it is the only default i found with this phone : the lack of "connections" with Apple's OS :/
PS : I searched on the web and I found a solution for Mac OS X users : Android File Transfer (on the official website).
Sorry I can not the url because I am new on this forum.

[SOLVED] Can't mound SD card from G1 to computer

I am unable to mount my SD card when it is in my G1 and connected to my computer. I used to be able to before I upgraded to Windows 7. I am using JacHero 2.7.1 with the latest USB drivers, fastboot and ADB both work. But when I connect my phone to my computer and choose to mount the card, nothing happens on my computer. In device manager, my G1 is still there under ADB Interface. However, the SD card is mounted as WPD File System Volume Driver with a little caution sign on the icon. When I view properties of the device, it says "The device cannot start. (Code 10)"
How can I get this to work? Its kinda annoying to have to turn off my phone, remove my fishbone case and go through all that just to put a picture on it.

You can always use adb push? Lol try uninstalling the usb storage devices and reinstalling them
well, the problem is USB Mass Storage doesn't even show up. And when I try to install newer drivers it says "Windows has concluded that your driver is up to date" and stuff like that. ADB push is a little slow for me lol
Uninstall whatever your SD Card is installed as, then restart your computer, replug in your phone and mount the SD Card and it should prompt that a new device was plugged in.

Ugh, I hate that... try manually updating drivers and see if you can get it to install the Mass Storage Device drivers from a list...
I tried that, there wasn't an option for USB Mass Storage, but there was one for SD Card in the pre-installed driver list, however when I selected that one I received an error. Just a note, that Android HTC Phone USB Device is listed under disk drives with no caution signs in the icon, however I am unable to get that one to work either. Could it possibly be Windows 7..?
AHAHAHHAHA YES I FIXED IT WOOO HOOOO!
Okay, so what I did was go into the development settings and UNcheck USB debugging. The moment I did that, my computer made the "new hardware sound" and then said "driver install successful" and when I clicked on it to see the driver, the driver was "USB Mass Storage Device". Now I can mount it WOOHOO!
Thanks you guys for all the help
edit:
With USB debugging reenabled, it stops working again, so I gotta turn it off everytime I wanna mount... ah well
That sucks, I have mine permanently on cuz I use ADB so much (Also using Windows 7 here) And everything detected perfectly. Well good job on finding a workaround.

Okay because of a great guy from a microsoft website forumboard I was able to fix this with the below fix.
Thank you (Patricio16)
If still doesnt work try this:
1. My Computer -> Properties -> Advanced System Settings. This takes you into the system properties like in XP. Go into Environment variables and create a new System varable called devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices (I don't think it's case sensitive). Set this to a value of 1.
2. Go into device manager. From the view menu, choose "show hidden devices". Because of the environment variable, you now see all devices not in use.
3. Uninstall any "Universal Serial Bus controllers" not in use (greyed out). Also I uninstalled any storage volumes, storage volume shadow copies, and disk drives also not in use. You should see your offending USB device in one of these areas.
4. STILL DIDNT WORK!! Then:
4.1 Make sure your cellphone detects and see the content of the card. Then, right click MY COMPUTER - Choose Disk Mngmt- Look for the storage device in trouble (you will see that it doesnt have an assigned letter yet) - Add a letter to it - Check and you'll see the drive. (Edit)rocxylemmon- remove the WPD by uninstalling it if it does not go away on it's own then recheck for any new devices and it will change to the drive letter you assigned it too.

Working Angry Birds fix (tested on TnT Lite, may work elsewhere)

Credit goes to deis, who found this fix first. Again, I am just passing it on and packaging it for everyone.
As always, USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. This is an OpenGL driver change and could cause system instability. Limited testing has shown no issues so far, but YMMV.
--------------------------------------------
Link: http://www.mediafire.com/?cr1c8lx6hj94q9l
-------------------------------------------
This is an update.zip with a recovery command file. You would run this the same way you would run any firmware update (for cwm users, just extract and place the update.zip anywhere on /sdcard - for non-cwm users, you need to drop update.zip on the root of /sdcard and the recovery folder there as well, and run recovery). After reboot, give the system a minute or so to stabilize.
Also, to install Angry Birds (on TnT Lite), mount /sdcard to your PC (so it's no longer accessable to Android) and then sideload Angry Birds or install it from the Market. It should install. EDIT: Here's a trick to do that, if you have the Marketplace working via the cache / Titanium Backup hack:
1. Go into Settings -- Storage and unmount the SD card.
2. Go into the Marketplace and install Angry Birds. It should be successful.
3. Go back into Settings -- Storage and re-mount the SD card.
4. Enjoy AB and all the hours of time you will waste playing it.
If anyone has any major problems with this change, please PM me and I'll update this post with a backout update.zip. Essentially, this fix is one file that was taken from the latest Nvidia development kit.
EDIT: This fix has been integrated into TnT Lite 2.00.
People are going to love you man.
Okay so. When I try to install from market, I get download unsuccessful. When I try to sideload, it says Application not installed. And I don't know how to sideload when SD is unmounted. Suggestions?

Yes, good point on sideloading. I use "adb install" and that worked for me, and I used the Marketplace as well. I guess you could also use Dropbox as a solution?
cannot get this to work on zpad, i flashed the fix in cwm but ab will not install. can anyone confirm it works on zpad?
Saved for future reference. I actually was able to install from the market and play just fine, but this is good to now in case anything goes wrong.

When you say mount to pc.....that is to turn off debug and enable sd to pc correct? Then when you say side load, what does that mean? Sorry for dumb question...only way i have been able to load AB is with adb install which i dont think works when you enable pc to sd setting. Thanks

ok, i've just been having trouble getting things to install from the market lately and i can't loading it from the sd while its mounted to pc. so i gues my only other choice is to load via adb but i have been unsuccesfull writing to anywhere but root of sd with adb(in tnt at least)

There are two problems with AB - getting it to install and getting it to run with full video.
This is exactly how I got Angry Birds to install, on TnT Lite:
- Download the 1.4.2 pk from anywhere, ie. from getjar.
- Setup the Android SDK so I can use ADB.
- boot up the device, connect to USB and enable USB debugging (so that ADB will function).
- mount the storage to my PC (this is the critical part - if you don't do this you can't install the app). This disables /sdcard from being visible in Android.
- run "adb install Angry_Birds_v1.4.2.apk" to install the app.
Now some of you probably don't have ADB - in that case, I would recommend trying to use the Marketplace, possibly Dropbox or maybe even copy the file via root explorer to some other location than /sdcard and then run it there. You have a few options.
The fix I posted assumes that you already have Angry Birds installed, and you are having the "no video, only sound" issue. This fix should correct the video problem.
Btw, I really hate this game.
Thank you

ok... got it installed... using this method... But after the first "round" when it ends, it aborts instead of going to the next round.
I am running full vanilla.
I did the open gl zip update, then connect to usb, mounted sd, enabled debug and loaded it via adb.
Also had loaded it several times from root explorer before I did it this way. But in any case, it still aborts after first game
Tried clearing davlic cache... no difference...

[Q] Auto mount SD via USB

I just upgraded to JB 4.1.2 and notice that the phone will no longer automatically mount the sdcards in Windows 7 Explorer. I got used to simply connecting a USB cable and "GT-N7000" would appear in the list of drives in Explorer. Could this be someting to do with the ROM itself? The stock one for my phone is not available yet to compare.
Does anyone know of an app that will do this that works on this ROM? I've tried several but none of them seem to do what they claim.
I know I can use an apps such as MyPhoneExplorer (phone client) and PC app but this involves as many buttone and key presses as doing it natively on the phone.
Galaxy Note GT-N7000
Android version 4.1.2
Baseband N7000XXLS3 Ultimate JellyBean 4.1.2 v4
Kernel version 3.0.31-422420
Thanks in ad vance
Trevor
I believe this is a bug with the leaked JB, ive seen several similar issues regarding charging / mounting / storage, Basically everything that requires USB.
I too suffer from this occasionally but im a ubuntu user.
Have you tried multi-mount - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rafoid.multimountsdcard.widget&hl=en
Thats the paid version ^^ there is a lite (free) version which does the job, It also has option for auto mount when usb is connected.
Thank you. Yes, I tried MultiMount but couldn't get it to work. Spent a fruitless hour fiddling around with it. Would have been happy to buy the paid app if it had.
Basically, all I'm looking for is to automate the "USB Connected/Turn on USB storage" function of JB when I plug in a USB cable. It works fine right now but too many things to swipe and click on to get there.
Do you use MTP or Mass Storage ? If you go to settings > more > usb utilities, It should have option to change.
If you use MTP it will will automatically mount when connected, With mass storage you must manually mount it.
Alternatively just quick search google for android auto mount
There's a ton of apps / tricks to do this, Not sure if they work on JB yet but worth a try, Ive never used anything like that so i cannot confirm which ones work and which dont.

[Q] USB Device Not Recognised

This is getting frustrating now, no matter what I do I get this message: "USB Device Not Recognised"
Here is what I have tried:
Connect on android
Connect as MTP
Different USB cable (5 to be precise)
DIfferent USB port
WebOS recovery
Reinstall Novacom Drivers
Restart PC
Restart Touchpad
I have no idea what else I can try, no matter what I do, this annoying message persists!
Platform? ROM?
What's the ROM you are using? Also, which platform is your PC on? Linux/Windows/Mac?
In case you are on some 5.1.x ROM, I would recommend a nandroid backup and flashing a known 4.4.4 ROM which might tell you if it's your hardware or just Android. If you were on a stable ROM earlier where USB was working, then I would recommend trying that. :fingers-crossed:
Similar Issue.
My TP actually works (sort of) via MTP but it frequently disconnects when transferring files and freezes my explorer window. I tried to use Mass Storage on PAC KitKat FINAL and windows reports that it can't find a driver for it and when I try to reboot into recovery it only mounts a tiny SD Card partition of some 800mb. This probably won't be answered but whatever. I've been trying to solve this issue the past 8 hours. I have nothing to lose.

hi, had some trouble with my win7 PC detecting touchpad (using JC's 4.4 Cm11), although ADB was installed - I couldn't see it as a storage drive despite the driver installing. touchpad was connected via MTP.
what worked for me was on windows - go to Device Installation Settings (drivers) and choose never install from windows update. Then under device manager -> android device -> uninstall. reconnect and it should work properly. hope that helps

Read down a few posts. It worked for me on 5.1.1.
I also have the same problem but with the 32gb version.
I started with a locked unrooted 5.1.1 Nexus 6.
I followed the instructions from Google's file image site.
I unlocked the boot loader.
Then ran the flash all script that failed, so I manually flashed the phone.
Phone rebooted and started up fine.
I attempted to re-lock the boot loader but it failed.
When connected to a windows system the phone shows up on auto play but file explorer shows No files or folders.
Tried a factory wipe still nothing.
worked

Yes. The phone defaults to charge-only mode via USB, which prohibits file transfer; this is why the device folder was empty in Windows. Switch to MTP mode via the notification shade and it will appear as it normally does.
In addition, in Developer options, you can configure the default USB mode, so as to prevent this from happening in the future.
or, just move into the 21st century, and use a program like wifi explorer pro, and never have to connect with a usb cable to transfer anything ever again..

Agreed that apps like this are very convenient. Sometimes still prefer hardwiring for transferring 20-30 GB worth of stuff, even though MTP is a total drag.

This fixed my Issue. It was set to MTP but I switched it to Charge only then back to MTP and it works now.
Thank you.
with a fast wifi connection, its not really much slower to transfer big stuff as well; although, how often are you transferring 20-30 gigs of stuff???
I think I have used the cable to transfer maybe 3 or 4 times since I got this phone..wireless charging, no cables to transfer files, its time to embrace 2015!
TWRP Resize partition function
Addressing just the problem posed in the title of this thread, if you have TWRP installed, or if you choose to install it after you discover this problem, then you have an option that will preserve your data: use the new "resize partition" function within recovery.
Boot to TWRP (version 2.8.7.1 or higher)
Choose "Wipe" button (do not slide yet!!) then "Advanced Wipe" button.
Select the Data partition, then "Repair or Change File System" button.
Choose the Resize button.
Now you can slide to confirm, and it will expand the partition to it's full potential, without disturbing the data.

Sorry for OT:
Definitely doesn't work on a rooted Nexus 5. It always jumps back to charge only. Does this work 100% on Nexus 6 devices?
File transfer also doesn't work properly for me (and at least one other person in the NExus 5 Troubleshooting subforums), if you want to move a folder onto the SD card which has a system file and / or subfolders in it, it will most likely fail. There are also a lot of folders not showing in Windows Explorer, so if i.e. I want to move Titanium Backup files to the SD card I just can't place a folder and name it "Titanium Backup" because it won't get recognized. I have to create a dummy folder, place the backup files in there and then move them manually with ES File Explorer to the now visibile real TB folder.
That bothered me so much I did a rollback to Lollipop, hopefully those things get fixed by Google or with an Xposed module (if this is working somewhen).
